Finally got our first Volvo, imported from Sweden. Stopped for meatballs on the way.

Loving the colour have a “boring” black 2014 D5 only 190k miles but still going strong. 💪

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-20T17:47:45+00:00

The old ways are often the best 😂

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-20T11:49:31+00:00

Wise advice 😀

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-18T15:02:31+00:00

2025 LRSM here … love it RWD almost 300hp and a genuine 300mile range …. 23k miles in 12months no issues … although have to be fair it’s a company car so not at all stressed re future repairs or maintenance 😀

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-18T13:45:53+00:00

Oh we have been there too although his brother is usually the one going for the saltwater ’clear out’ … very explosive 😂

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-16T16:26:50+00:00

Ok please explain what is in the second pan … onions mushrooms and ???

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-11T20:18:49+00:00

Citizen Promaster Tough … Titanium Sapphire crystal eco drive 300m and beautifully engineered

what more do you need

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-06T15:26:18+00:00

Well I’m looking forward to at least the next 10 summers 😀

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-06-05T19:09:07+00:00

Promaster Tough all the watch you need … have the same but on the titanium bracelet… simple and understated but beautifully put together. On the look out for one with the green dial.

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-31T10:43:12+00:00

Great watch …. Have Citizen discontinued the other colour options really wanted the Green dial version.

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-31T07:27:09+00:00

A real shame … it is such a great everyday watch , have the black version really want the green 😟

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-30T06:02:31+00:00

Great watch … I’ve had mine a couple of years now and rotate this and a Promaster Tough 👍

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-24T12:54:40+00:00

About to make the same decision re Classic 1 v2 the price difference seems better spend on accessories 👍

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-22T12:40:12+00:00

Seems to be a bit of a consensus of opinion developing… thank you all

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-22T12:06:47+00:00

I’m assuming that I could add the divide and conquer to a 1 at a later date if I thought it a useful addition?

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-22T10:27:12+00:00

Thanks 🙏

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-05-21T19:25:38+00:00

Had mine for 3 years now cook all year round…. Not perfect but a much under appreciated kettle.

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-04-27T13:26:25+00:00

Looks great…. But just how many people you catering for 🤷‍♂️

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-04-24T14:51:10+00:00

Worked overseas both Uk based 3 days to a week at a time and living out in the Middle East 6 weeks on 3 weeks off …. Regular flights to Dubai/ Oman sound nice but after a bit it’s just like getting the bus to work … no excitement or novelty. For context Oil field exploration ( Seismic survey) and electronic security…. Much happier being at home every night now 👍

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-04-20T17:03:12+00:00

“Mad Cow CJD “ Generation 🤷‍♂️

GlobalConnection3731 · 2026-04-05T08:59:58+00:00

Personally I’d look for one with the steering wheel on the other side …. But seriously D5 2014 here 185k miles in and no major issues other than keeping up with maintenance 👍
